These were the prophetic words spoken to me recently by famed economist and New York Times best-selling author Robert Wiedemer, at a private dinner in Palm Beach, Fla.

"You see, the medicine will become the poison," Wiedemer continued, as he pulled a worn manila enevelope from his briefcase.

I was skeptical of his claims at first, but then I saw the chilling evidence.

Well, I'm not terribly comfortable with the email cause it is a pitch to basically sell their newsletter to subscribers. They have a video (basically a commercial) with an interview with Mr. Wiedemer.

But, when he says a gallon of gasoline will shoot up to $28 from 2013 to 2016 it had me sit up an pay attention.

There's a lot of food for thought in the video. For example the current economic situation does not instill the greatest confidence in me that our government will be able to resolve this economic situation amicably. Hiked taxes is an inevitability, for example, and not just a small hike either. Some other things stated:

- The continued quantitative easing will inevitably cause inflation beginning in 2013

- Long term bond investments will be practically destroyed

- Government will roll short term paper debt frequently

- US dollar will continue to fall in value

- Real estate investments will depreciate 20 to 30 % more because interest rates will rise in 2013

- Precious metals may see a bull market for the next ten years begining in 2013.

...some scary shit.
